Albert

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 5 years

Albert had a bit of a reputation after impregnating several of the local female cats (nothing to do with the females being un-neutered of course..) He was collected by our friends, The Neuter Rangers, and de-troublepuffed. As The Neuter Rangers are a sole purpose group of volunteers, who are very very busy doing more than their share of helping to reduce the number of un-neutered cats, they have asked us to find Albert a suitable furrever home where he will be loved and appreciated. Albert is a sweet boy and is still a bit nervous. He's getting used to being treated with care and love. He needs to go at a slower pace, but once he knows you are not trying to hurt him, he is fine being brushed and patted. In fact he loves a face rub so much it has been nearly impossible to get a good photo of him! As soon as he sees his fosterer coming he is up and on the move, positioning himself to receive the fusses. Albert is ok around other cats and would possibly be ok with a dog. The right introductions would be needed. We think he would also be ok living with slightly older children. Do you have a soft spot for ex "bad boys" who are actually big softies? Albert would love to meet you.

About Albert

What life with Albert looks like

Albert is a large adult mixed breed cat waiting at Nine Lives Cat Rescue in United Kingdom.

An adult cat usually shows their personality within a week. Give them a quiet room with everything they need (food, water, litter, hiding spot) and let them choose when to explore. Don't force interaction — every cat decides for themselves when a new home counts as home.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Albert, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Albert?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Nine Lives Cat Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Albert on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Albert if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Nine Lives Cat Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Albert already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most cats on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Albert isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Nine Lives Cat Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Albert and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
